Career

Béziers

Initially a forward and then a holding midfielder, [3] [4] Crama began his career in his native France in the Béziers youth system at U11 level. [5] Following a growth spurt, he was developed into a central defender. [4] Crama progressed to the reserve team and made 6 Championnat National 3 appearances between October and December 2020, before being promoted into the first team squad and making five Championnat National appearances during the second half of the truncated 2019–20 season. [6] [7] Despite signing his first professional contract with the club in March 2020, [5] Crama departed the Stade Raoul-Barrière in August 2020. [8]

Brentford

On 25 August 2020, Crama moved to England to join the B team at Championship club Brentford on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year, [8] for an undisclosed fee. [9] Following two seasons of exclusively B team football, [10] the option on Crama's contract was taken up in May 2022. [11] On 30 June 2022, he signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a further year. [10] Crama was including the first team squad for its 2022–23 pre-season and mid-season training camps and was an unused substitute during five regular season matches. [7] [12] [13] A proposed loan to Ligue 1 club Montpellier during the mid-season transfer window was rejected. [14]

Following an appearance in the first team's opening 2023–24 pre-season friendly, [15] Crama signed a new three-year contract, with the option of a further year. [16] On 25 July 2023, Crama and Brentford teammate Matthew Cox joined League One club Bristol Rovers on season-long loans. [16] Deployed predominantly as a starter when fit, [7] [17] [18] Crama made 34 appearances during a mid-table 2023–24 season. [19] [20]

Following two 2024–25 first team pre-season appearances and inclusion in the first team squad's Portugal training camp, [21] [22] [23] Crama joined League One club Exeter City on a season-long loan. [24] Prior to his recall on 16 January 2025, [25] Crama made 26 appearances, scored four goals and twice won the club's Player of the Month award. [26] [27] He transferred away from Brentford the following day and ended his B team career on 89 appearances and 11 goals. [28]

Millwall
